I support food quality, laboratory testing, and sustainable agriculture initiatives.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to agriculture, food quality, and food safety management through laboratory analysis, quality assurance, and sustainable agricultural practices.

I've gained hands-on food processing, microbiological testing, and quality-control experience at Keells Food Products PLC, supporting food safety and hygiene compliance.

I work with quality assurance protocols and standards including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 22000, GMP, HALAL, and SLS. My undergraduate research explored a local laboratory method using waste material in agarwood resin production.

I also bring finance and administration experience from Vas Ceylon and N.R. Palliyaguruge, including supplier payments, payroll, cash reconciliation, reporting, and documentation. I'm committed to improving food safety standards and sustainable agricultural practices.
